As Tyler once again helps cover the iDevice news directly from the event show floor and some behind-the-scenes tidbits, I'll be the one temporarily taking over AGF. I'm only an apprentice at this, so the selection may not be as up to snuff, but I'll do my best.
Today's AGF list includes a nice bird sounds app, an enjoyable platformer, a mind game testing your recognition and reflex skills, and a 3D cartoon-style shooter involving Isaac Newton and his iconic apple.
All app prices are subject to change at any time and without notice regardless of stated free duration. Price changes are solely under the control of the developers.
